Killing faxgetty seems to work but I have two modems in this machine and I don't want to restart faxgetty
on the non-stuck modem if I don't have to, right?

This is the output of `ps axlw` (at least the part having to do with faxgetty)

100    10 20274     1   8   0  4012 1972 do_sel S    ?          0:02 /usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1
100    10  3075     1   8   0  4012 1968 do_sel S    ?          0:00 /usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0

If I do this:

[root@akita root]# killall faxgetty

It kills both of the processes and they respawn fine.  No problem.  
How can I get just ONE of the modems to reset?  I've tried these combinations:


[root@akita root]# kill "faxgetty ttyS0"
-bash: kill: faxgetty ttyS0: no such pid

[root@akita root]# killall faxgetty ttyS0
ttyS0: no process killed

[root@akita root]# killall 'faxgetty ttyS0'
faxgetty ttyS0: no process killed


[root@akita root]# killall "faxgetty ttyS0"
faxgetty ttyS0: no process killed

[root@akita root]# killall \"faxgetty ttyS0\"
"faxgetty: no process killed
ttyS0": no process killed

Should I write a scipt that greps for the PID and then kills the process using the PID instead?  How should I best do this?

Thanks,
